Okay - the multiple answers I receives stated that *FX 162, 28, 3 should do
it.  However, a better way which came from one of the Acorn people was this
small 'proglet':

REM Toggle DragASprite

SYS "OS_Byte", 161, &1c TO ,,byte%
byte% = byte% EOR 2
SYS "OS_Byte", 162, &1c, byte%

In this way, it makes sure that the CMOS RAM check-bits are still okay.

Have fun!
